A secondstrap, designated by letter C, has a central poi/tion C forming thebottom ot a central pocket'and said widened portion'of the strap Cconforms tothe shape of the widened portion B of the strap A.

The .central pocket has a wall E With an opening E" therein and a tongueE2 pro.- jects from one edge of said opening and serves as a means forretaining the coin Within thepoeket. Pockets, designated hy.

strap C forming the backs thereof, While their opposite faces,designated by letter'K, are apertured at l for the reception of coins,

said apertures being of suiiieient sire to allow the particular sizecoin easilyy to pass therethrough. A glove fastening device is providedfor holding the twoinner pockets folded one over the other and consistsof a stud N in one end of the strap C, while the opposite end has asocket O for'the reception of said stud when the two pockets are foldedin the manner shown in the drawings.
